Nico Williams wants to stay in Bilbao for many years - President of Athletic Jon Uriarte

Published on: 20 September 2022

At Athletic Club, Nico Williams is the star of the week. The Navarrese forward is a star after scoring in the two victories in a row over Elche CF and Rayo Vallecano.

Luis Enrique Martnez has called the player up for the first time for the Spanish senior squad, which will play two UEFA Nations League games against Switzerland and Portugal.

The performance of Nico Williams was specifically addressed this past weekend by Athletic's president, Jon Uriarte.

"I think we have to go step by step, he is still a very young player and he has a long way to go, so we are happy with his call but with our feet on the ground," he said.

"His call-up to the national team is very good news. For us it is a sign that Lezama is doing a great job because we don't stop producing talent, not only with Nico, but also with many other players that we have in the first team and in the lower categories,"

The president of the San Mames club is considering giving Nico a contract extension.

"At the moment I want to think about the good and I don't want any worries of that kind,"

"Everything is well tied, on top of that he loves Athletic and wants to stay in our team for many years and we also want him to,"
